Wu Shiwen also nodded quickly and said, "That's right. I always miss the days of fishing on your boat, Brother Yang. Brother Yang, you can command this net. As long as you are on the boat, you are the captain."
Xiang Yang smiled and shook his head. He just needed to listen to this.
This was obviously flattery. If Xiang Yang took it seriously, he wouldn't be so shortsighted.
"I'm just bored, so I came here to play. You guys play online while I study." Xiang Yang said with a smile.
He Mingde was not polite either. "Then I'll order the nets to be cast. There are a lot of fish now. After a while, the fish will get used to the lights and there won't be such a good opportunity anymore."
Xiang Yang nodded slightly.
At this time, Murong Zhenfei and Zhang Qicheng also came over through the exploration board, Fang Youqun and Chen Qingsheng followed behind. Only Li Chao, Xu Fang and a few others were still standing on the cruise ship.
When Wu Shiwen saw Zhang Qicheng coming, perhaps in a hurry to show off his strength, he quickly ordered people to put away the probe board, and then personally led a few people to the stern of the boat to cast the net.
As the winch master pressed the operating button, a group of people stood at the stern holding harpoons, ready to deal with emergencies that might occur at any time.
The fishing net was lowered into the sea smoothly, and then automatically spread out into an umbrella shape under the influence of the tide.
"Brother Yang, Mr. Zhang, Boss Murong, we are about to set sail." Wu Shiwen reminded.
Xiang Yang nodded to show that he understood.
Zhang Qicheng and Murong Zhenfei walked a few steps towards the middle of the deck.
Soon, accompanied by the huge sound of the boiler, the fishing boat slowly began to accelerate.
"I didn't expect that beef liver and searchlights could have such an effect." Chen Qingsheng looked at the fish on the sea that kept jumping out of the sea because of fright, like raindrops, and said, "Captain, I think we can try this method next time we go out to sea."
"It's useless." Xiang Yang said with a smile: "It's just a little bit of beef liver, so only a little bit can smell it. This is mainly due to the effect of the searchlight, and there are many fish in this sea area. If it were another sea area, the effect would be much worse."
He Mingde's mouth was cracked to the back of his ears, but he still pretended to be modest and said: "I don't know what the effect is yet. I will know when it goes online."
At this time, although there were quite a few fish jumping on the sea, they were all very small marine fish, and no rare catches were seen.
But even so, He Mingde and Wu Shiwen were already very satisfied.
They don't ask for a large amount of catch, nor do they look for rare species. As long as they can catch a few thousand kilograms of fish that can be sold for more than 20 yuan, they will be satisfied.
After more than an hour, the winch started to pull up the net.
When a large bag of catch was dragged onto the boat, He Mingde and Wu Shiwen immediately smiled happily.
Xiang Yang also smiled. With this net, Wu Shiwen was indeed lucky. The catch should be about three or four thousand kilograms.
The fishing net was opened and the fish were poured into the living water tank.
There is a difference between a live water tank and a live water tank.
The live water tank is a warehouse on the ship that is specially used to store rare catches so that they don't die so quickly.
The live water trough is a unique device on large fishing boats such as driftnet boats. It is very shallow, but there is indeed live water in it. The purpose is to allow people on the boat to have time to slowly clean the catch after the fishing net is pulled up.
The catch was scattered.
"Huh?" Xiang Yang suddenly let out a light exclamation.
"Fuck." Zhang Qicheng also let out a strange cry.
Murong Zhenfei rushed directly into the fish pile. He ignored the sea water, hugged a large dark yellow fish and shouted, "This fish is mine. No one is allowed to snatch it from me."
He Mingde looked at the fish in Murong Zhenfei's arms and stuttered with excitement, "It's actually a big yellow croaker, my God."
Wu Shiwen also began to tremble with joy.
Xiang Yang stared at the fish for a while, and suddenly said, "No, this is not a yellow croaker."
Zhang Qicheng also frowned, "It's definitely not a big yellow croaker."
"Don't lie to me, if this isn't a big yellow croaker, then what is it?" Murong Zhenfei looked at Xiang Yang and Zhang Qicheng warily, then turned her head to look at the big dark yellow fish she was holding.
“Hey, what is this?”
"This is a kingfish. Its body shape is similar to that of yellow croaker, and its color is also similar, but it is larger than the yellow croaker. It is not as yellow as the yellow croaker, has scales, and garlic-like meat." Xiang Yang shrugged.
Murong Zhenfei's face turned ugly. Kingfish is not a high-end fish, it is quite ordinary. The price of meat is usually 30 to 40 yuan per catty, which is more expensive than pork, but cheaper than beef.
Large yellow croaker and king fish are very similar fish, but they are two separate species.
The king fish is long and big, while the yellow croaker is short and small.
But it is difficult to distinguish between the smaller kingfish and the larger yellow croaker.
To identify it, first look at the fish mouth on the head. The lower lip of the kingfish is longer than the upper lip, and the mouth is closed in a round shape.
The upper and lower lips of large yellow croaker are equal and pointed when the mouth is closed.
Secondly, the scales of the kingfish are smaller, with eight or nine scales between the origin of the dorsal fin and the lateral line.
The scales of large yellow croaker are larger, with five or six scales between the dorsal fin and the lateral line.
In addition, the caudal peduncle of the kingfish is longer, and its length is more than three times its height, while the caudal peduncle of the yellow croaker is shorter, and its length is more than twice its height.
"It's pretty good. This king fish weighs almost 100 kilograms. If I offer 3,000 yuan, someone will definitely buy it." Zhang Qicheng said.
"That's more than that. Because the meat of yellow croaker is thick, many people like to buy it. If this fish is put on the market, it will be no problem to sell it for seven or eight thousand yuan." Xiang Yang said with a smile.
Zhang Qicheng smiled, looked at Wu Shiwen and said, "Do you want to buy it at the market or sell it to me directly?"
"This." Wu Shiwen was a little embarrassed.
Zhang Qicheng and Xiang Yang have just made the price very clear.
If sold to Zhang Qicheng, it would be three thousand yuan.
If you take it to the market, people will buy it for seven or eight thousand yuan.
He Mingde asked directly: "Mr. Zhang, if I sell it to you, how much would you pay?"
Zhang Qicheng touched his chin, smiled and glanced at Xiang Yang, then said, "I want to transport it back, and then sell it myself. If the fish dies on the way, I will bear the loss myself, so the maximum I can pay is 4,000 yuan."
"That's as it should be. After all, if we sell it ourselves, we will also have to bear risks, right?" He Mingde immediately said, "Mr. Zhang, do you want to take it to the yacht now, or keep it in our live water tank first?"
"Put it in the live water tank." Zhang Qicheng said without raising his head.
He stared at the full tank of fish, searching carefully bit by bit to see if he could find a few better catches.
pity.
This time, we caught a lot of fish.
But the one with the highest unit price is this king fish.
The rest are some very cheap catches.
